The Spurs Head Coach was asked if Walker would miss the World Cup but he seems confident that he will be part of Roy Hodgson’s England squad that travels to Brazil this summer.

Sherwood said: “We’re concerned immediately because he’s not fit and it is very doubtful if he’ll be fit for next week as well but we’re hoping to see him out there on the training field as soon as possible.”

Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris seems keen to use the momentum from Monday’s 5-1 win over Sunderland to spur them on to a win over West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
